Reaching new heights of quality and dexterity HME, Inc. has teamed with RK Aerials to produce aerial apparatus product worthy of our name. From the nimble 75' Quint to the full featured 104' Platform HME's unique concept of mating state-of-the-art technology and the highest quality materials and workmanship moves us to the head of the class in Aerial apparatus. Bodies made from durable stainless steel provide the ultimate in corrosion resistance; engineered for durability and strength, our structural system gives superior strength without the restrictions associated with heavy "low tech" steel superstructures. We can offer maximum water capacities and compartment space to carry your load with ease and safety. Choose from any one of HME's 1871 line of custom chassis and you'll have a performance winner every time.

High strength steel ladders are constructed to the highest standards known, fully tested during the assembly process and prior to delivery. Tip loads are 500 lb. with water flowing on the 75' Quint, 109' Aerial and 104' Platform models at the lowest elevations giving the capacity you need where it counts. Full details on weight distribution are available from HME - just a "click" away!

HME Aerial products feature Hyrdo-Technology® providing the ultimate in efficiency and dependability. Engineered for the needs of today and the future our use of stainless steel and high-pressure wire reinforced plumbing reduces friction loss and simplifies the entire module. Service issues are addressed during the design stage where we've made access to all components a primary consideration. Full size gauge and curbside panels and a large open area up front make service easy every time. Even the hydraulic tank is built into the pumphouse module taking up otherwise waste space.

Other standard features include the Class 1 Es-Key® Electrical Management System providing the high tech components that form the nucleus of the HME electrical assembly. High strength Polypropylene water tanks give an added weight advantage, 75' units easily handle 400 gallons of water and full-depth compartments easily staying within the weight ratings of the axles. Side-stack hosebeds provide storage for up to 1500' of 5" hose; center chutes provide similar capacities and allow additional compartment storage capacity. Independent rollout running boards constructed from 12-gauge stainless Lasergrip are NFPA compliant, attractive and easily replaced if damaged.

Optional available features include radio controlled aerial / nozzle functions, envelope "cab collision" control to assist in nesting the ladder and "Soft-Touch" ramping controls for all ladder functions. Breathing air to the tip, Anchors, 110-Vlighting and power, three-station communications, custom painting and graphics make true customization a reality. Need more for your operations? HME has it all!
